Calling altcoiners shitcoiners is not only unproductive, it is tribal and ugly. I used to follow and invest in various privacy coins. Nobody ever changed my mind by calling me a shitcoiner. The change came after I realised bitcoin can be used privately and that investing in it was more profitable in the long term.

What Bitcoin Did • Bitcoin Core v30 Explained: Spam, Filters & the Knots Debate | Antoine Poinsot • Watch on Fountain

In general the issue needs more publicity.

If BIP-119 gets adopted, I will be selling half my sats and buying PoW privacy coins. The core value of bitcoin is freedom money, not number go up.

We already knew this, but now it is confirmed with a peer-reviewed study: "during the early pandemic period, only about 14% of PCR-positive results represented true infections, meaning 86% were false or non-infectious detections. The study examined data from the ALM laboratory consortium, which conducted ~90% of Germany’s PCR tests, and compared week-by-week PCR positivity with IgG antibody data from the same labs. "

Sounds very good. I'll happily test as a GoS user and may be spin up a blossom server too. How expensive would it be to use?
